Anyways.. Come east they say... I was getting more loads on the west side of the Mississippi! :)

I did the same thing. Did TX, LA, AR, OK, AZ, TX again, MI, then one to TN. In a period of 2 weeks. That's where the roll came to an end! Sat a few days, then went home. Try restarting a new roll Monday.

This petro in effingham is huge. There's all kinds of stuff in here like a CB shop, barber shop, laundry, iron skillet, knife shop, even slot machines. A driver could waste his entire settlement here
Make sure you get the effing ham sammich while you're there!

Look for a broken u clamp on hanger bearing.... Where it bolts unto frame..I had that once

Well this is turning out worse then expected. Since I'm told the drive line is a "non-repairable" type. I'm having one built for a lower cost. Possible may be done tomorrow, if not will be spending the weekend here. Looking at around $1800, plus motel

Yeah not gonna be doing it much. Next I'll just get the salad bad. Today I don't know what came over me I just decided to sit in the trucker section and eat listen to the guys brag on about stuff. That was fairly entertaining even if it was the middle of the day
Congrats you took part of the super truckers liars club lol.
